Chapter 3
Ginny had had a long day, stinksap got all in her hair in herbology, and she got burned by Hagrid's blast-ended screwets, not even to mention Trelawny predicting her death, which was apparently quite painful and humorous? How does that even work? She had just barely made it to the prefect meeting she had scheduled, which she would have rather ditched just so she could get cleaned up, but that just wasn't an option. Oh god Malfoy is going to see me looking like crap! Wait, what do I care…I don't care what he thinks do I? So what if he's not as bad as I thought he'd be, I'd still rather be around a Devil's snare.
A smooth sarcastic voice broke her out of her thought bubble. "What the hell have you been doing Miss Weasley? You look absolutely dreadful. Is that stinksap?"
Just bloody great "Yes, it is. I've had a miserable day and would appreciate it if you would just shut your bloody mouth!" Oh crap, I've done it again. He's going to yell at me and give me detention.
To Ginny's surprise he just laughed and said "Okay, let's just get on with the meeting, the prefects will be here soon."
Surprisingly the prefect meeting went off without a hitch, and Malfoy was actually nice to them, even the muggle-borns. There is a shocker!
---------------------------------------------
Ginny arrived to DADA on time this morning, much to Draco's dismay. Blast! I was hoping to be able to give her detention. Stupid Weasel, she just has to be not horrible to be around. I can't believe what I'm thinking I'm a bloody Malfoy for goodness sake! Hell, she's even beautiful covered in that damn stinksap. She must be siren. Draco finished contemplating ways that Ginny was making him not hate her, but eventually class had to begin. Ginny did not have one outburst during class, so he could not give her detention as he had planned so he would just have to improvise.
As the class was dismissed Draco called out to Ginny, "Miss Weasley, could you stay for a moment I need to speak with you?" Ginny nodded, and went to the front of the room and waited for him to speak. "I was wondering if we could meet sometime to discuss your Head girl duties." He inched closer to her, close enough to smell her hair, which in his opinion smelled like Utopia itself.
Ginny took a step back to look at him, "Sure that would be fine with me, I have quidditch tonight, but tomorrow would work say 8 O'clock?" Gods his eyes are gorgeous! Stop it Ginny, he's a Malfoy, not to mention your PROFESSOR!
"Brilliant, I'll see you then, Ginny" She turned and walked out of the room. Once she was halfway down the hall she stopped. Did he just call me Ginny?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Draco stalked back to his quarters fuming. How could I be such an arse! I can't believe I called her Ginny. Why does she have to be so damn beautiful! There is no longer denying it. I am attracted to Ginny Weasley. Well I guess I will just have to woo her. She shouldn't be too hard, please, there has never been a girl I haven't been able to get. Besides, Dumbledore said I could be…discreet.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ginny was laying in her bed trying to get to sleep, but she just could not get Draco bloody Malfoy out of her head. So what if he isn't so bad, so what if he's devilishly handsome, so what if he smells good, he's a Malfoy, and Weasleys and Malfoys are not allowed to be together. There is no denying it. I'm attracted to a bloody ferret, The Ferret! Well I'll just have to get him to see that there is more to me than red hair, freckles, and the last name Weasley. Draco Malfoy, eat your heart out!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning Ginny got up, taking extra care in her appearance. Her long red hair was curled at the bottoms, and her face adorned with light make-up. She put on her uniform, deciding to make a couple of alterations. She shortened her skirt about an inch, and made her shoes have a bit more of a heel. Wow, I look good! Ginny thought to herself. She walked toward the great hall and met up with Colin "Hey Gin, you look nice today, this wouldn't have anything to do with a Professor Malfoy would it?"
"Colin! What did I tell you! I absolutely cannot stand that man."
"Sure Gin, whatever you say…whatever you say."
Ginny and Colin walked into the great hall, and were headed to the Gryffindor table, she looked up toward the staff table and saw her Professor staring intently at her. She smiled at him and waved innocently. He then blushed and sheepishly looked away. Looks like my plan is working, a grin appeared on Ginny's face.
Draco was sitting at the head table in the Great Hall, scoping the room for little miss Ginny Weasley. Seducing her was going to be fun! He finally saw her walking in with that camera-freak, Gods she looks gorgeous. Draco drank in her appearance and admired her flowing locks and her long elegant legs. Suddenly, she looked up at him, smiled and waved. She caught me! He looked back down at his eggs and began eating once again, thinking up a way he could give her detention so that he could 'woo' her. He smirked.
